Default Explanation of an erro message

I have been working on a PowerPoint presentation that my boss uses to lead a
training session. We're getting rid of the horrendous animations and
standardizing the look of the document.

When I doubleclick on some of the photos, I get the following message:
"The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an
unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application."

I get this on about half of the pictures and the rest are fine. Can anyone
explain what might be going on? I can get around this error by doing a right
click and saving the picture but what casued it?

JoAnn

Have you checked the source of the images in question. Are they from another PP application or were they pulled from another source aside from PP. If you find or know the source where those images were obtained from before they were inserted into the present Power Point presentation you might find your answer. Maybe the images are looking for their source file.

Did you also try to post this to the PP group

I have no clue where they came from. I took the Rev B file and saved it as a
Rev D (I had to do a down and dirty Rev C in between). I'd ask my boss but
he's on another of his "Bill Gates is out to give me the sh........" moods
again. Good guy - refuses to learn how to use Word properly.

Didn't post it there yet. figured I'd try here first. Thanks and have a
lovely Thursday!
